Nick Reiner‘s murderous rampage that resulted in the horrific death of his parents may have been fueled by more than mental illness — meth may have played a big factor.

We sent a camera to Exposition Park near downtown L.A. — where Nick was arrested — to ask people about the drug culture in the area, and whether they ever saw Nick there.

One of the people we spoke with — featured on the most recent episode of the “2 Angry Men” podcast — said flatly … Exposition Park is a drug den where users can get anything they want, including meth. He also said Nick looked familiar.

The murders were shockingly brutal — even to the Medical Examiner’s staff as well as law enforcement. Rob and Michele Reiner were butchered — it was carnage.

Harvey and Mark Geragos go through the markings of a meth murder, with the help of Dr. Drew, who also believes the brutality signals Nick was on a drug like meth.

Geragos says he has recon from the jail where Nick is being housed … he’s almost childlike and doesn’t have a clue why he’s there.

TMZ broke the story … Nick had been stable on a drug cocktail for his schizoaffective disorder until a month before the murders, when he complained to doctors the meds had made him gain weight. The doctors changed his meds and he spiraled out of control.

Former “All That” star Angelique Bates warned followers that Kianna Underwood was homeless in New York City and needed help years before her brutal death on Friday.

Check out Angelique’s Instagram video from November 2023 — she tells followers her fellow child actor desperately needed assistance, and called out members of the “All That” crew for not doing anything to comfort her.

While she didn’t name names, Angelique accused people who appeared on “All That” of acting like cast members are one big family, and then being selective with who they try to help. She also did not reveal who else on the Nickelodeon sketch show was in a similar situation to Kianna, but was receiving aid.

We told you about Kianna’s tragic death Friday — she was hit by a car in Brooklyn and dragged down two blocks early in the morning, and died from her injuries.

Kianna appeared on 7 episodes of “All That” and 23 episodes of “Little Bill.”

She was 33.

Ashton Kutcher may have been one of the heartthrobs of the early 2000s … but he shockingly says he was once fired from a Gucci campaign for being “too fat.”

The “That ’70s Show” alum shared his story while chatting with Entertainment Tonight recently … revealing he booked an exclusive campaign for Gucci in his early modeling days and flew all the way to Italy for the shoot. But, when he slipped into his pink Speedo, he says Gucci Creative Director Tom Ford said he was “too fat” and fired him.

Ashton said he was 178 pounds at the time, but didn’t take it too personally and understood Ford “had a specific thing he wanted to see.” He was about 19 at the time, which would have placed this situation in 1997 or 1998.

Ashton likely got the last laugh anyway, because he booked “That ’70s Show” around the same time and became a household name after the show premiered in 1998.
